RESQRS has now expanded those services to include 911 emergency medical services, medical flight team transportation & logistics, special operations ambulance standby, BLS & ALS ambulance transportation services, and 24/7 dispatch. Since 2019, RESQRS has successfully completed over 15,100 transports across all lines of service and thousands of standby hours at special events.
